The ACTlab Community


By participating in ACTLab activities or signing up for ACTLab courses you are becoming a member of an ongoing community with members on campus, at other universities, and in the professional world. Many ACTlabbies have gone on to their own startups or to major corporations in a wide variety of fields, and still participate in ACTLab life. ACTLab liaisons with other universities will permit students to take courses at sister labs around the world and receive RTF course credit for doing so. During the semester alumni from around the globe (the "Old Borgs' Network") visit the ACTLab and share their practical knowledge, bizarre insights, and true-life dramas from the Other Side. We are constantly refreshing the ACTLab community network through our mailing lists, personal visits by alumni and special guests, and classes' forays into exciting professional and aesthetic environments.
 
To sample our community you can take ACTLab classes, join ongoing projects, or help plan future events and courses. As you get to know other labbies here and around the world you will develop a sense of how you relate to our approaches to education, research, community, and making. This is an indispensable process, since our freewheeling style, with its emphasis on self-motivation, persistent exploration, and risktaking, isn't for everyone.
